Walking and Cycling, Keep Living Past 50

Monday, January 25th, 2010


Cardiovascular health is something that is increasingly affecting women. So far, rates of myocardial infarction occurred mostly in males. This is changing, women are having increasing problems arising from a poor cardiovascular care. The hormone treatments, snuff abuse, a sedentary lifestyle … are wreaking havoc on what doctors prescribe more and more often the same medicine: exercise, specifically cardiovascular exercise.

However, there are several types of cardio and each of them has a recommended age: from 50 are located in places preferably brisk walk and bicycle, if possible, static.

What is aerobic exercise? Get your heart work, which beat faster, so this strengthens and improves muscle pumping blood through the vascular system so that, among other things, get more oxygen from getting into the arteries.

A 75 kg to walk fast for 10 minutes each day and over a mile, spent 550 to 800 calories a day. That is, more or less, we do intake during main meal so with consistency, and seek to walk every day faster is able to maintain good levels of cardiovascular health. But not only managed to improve the health of our heart, also increases flexibility in the legs and can activate blood flow, preventing the appearance of varicose veins. In addition, we will be working against osteoporosis because exercise strengthens bones.

Instead, you should go for a walk about 3 or 4 times a week, from 30 minutes to an hour, with a moderate intensity. It is better not to do during hours that pulls the sun and heat, must wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear and a water bottle and sip.

Another good aerobic exercise is the bicycle. Now there are several versions very cheap and there is no excuse for not practicing a little every day. Those moments that feel like dead in TV viewing are, for example, the right opportunity. While we enjoy our favorite show we do at least a couple of miles at a moderate pace. With half an hour of daily exercise bicycle can significantly improve the physical condition, even if just begun the practice of this exercise. However, we must start slowly, first session of ten minutes, then increase to twenty and finally reach thirty.
